Does anyone know what kind of plants these are? I found them at a reptile store and was hoping to put them in my crested geckos new bioactive enclosure. Are they safe to put in?

    Top one with red is a croton. It's not safe for geckos and gets too big for most enclosures anyway. The bottom left is a philodendron. They're technically toxic if the gecko eats them, but cresteds generally don't try to eat plants. The bottom right is a calathea [nope: caladium. I mixed them up in my memory]. It's safe but might need occasional pruning to keep it from getting too big. And while looking up how safe those are, i saw several people recommend fittonia/nerve plant since it's safe and a smaller size

    It looks like the bottom right might actually be a Syngonium (arrowhead plant) not sure how safe it will be for a gecko but I know they’re safe for cats and dogs. I included a photo of mine. If the leaves feel more like flower petals it could be a calathea but if they feel like normal leaves it’s a Syngonium
